what's he going to do when he grows up?
At the parent-teacher conference for my 5th grade son, it was evident that some of his work quality was...umm...sub-optimal. As part of his re-education, I have been having him write a page every night on the topic of my choice. He's been working on a fantasy piece about a kingdom that runs out of silver, but the other day I said he needed to write about learning the piano (he's taking lessons). Here's what he cranked out. Genetics holds true...

When learning how to play the piano you should know this. The alphabet on the piano goes up to "G". Strange, huh? Also, never slump. It is bad for your back. Remember: no bamboo poles. Second, don't stare at the picture on the wall. Not that picture, the one to the left. No, my left you stupid.
No hot dogs either. So your dog in the summer heat has to go home where it's cool. Don't try to outwit your piano teacher. So the dictionary and the "How to Outwit Your Piano Teacher" book have to go. No dirty hands either. That means that your dirt sprayer has to go.
You need to be properly clothed too. So put your pants on. And your shirt on. And your hat on. Listen to the teacher. So the ear plugs and magazine have to go too. No throwing temper tantrums, so the "How to Throw a Temper Tantrum" book has to go. There! You look much better! Now go and hit learning piano in the bull's eye.
